EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of the Contrafacter of Frankfurt am Main with the passage of the Swedes under Gustav Adolf on 17th November 1631. A fine example of baroque art, this copper engraving is a testament to the graphic arts and showcases the rich history of Frankfurt am Main. The image depicts a significant event in European history as it portrays Gustav II Adolf, also known as Gustavus Adolphus Magnus, leading his troops through Frankfurt am Main. The city's architecture serves as an impressive backdrop for this monumental occasion. Created by Matthaus Merian, a renowned artist from Schwitzerland, this private collection print offers viewers a glimpse into one of Europe's most pivotal moments. The attention to detail and intricate craftsmanship make it clear why Merian was considered one of the greatest artists of his time. As we delve into this piece further, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance. It is a visual representation that transports us back to 17th-century Europe when Sweden played an influential role in shaping political alliances and military strategies. With its inclusion in "Theatrum Europaeum" an esteemed publication documenting major events across Europe, this artwork has become an important part of our cultural heritage. While appreciating its beauty and historical context, let us remember that commercial use is prohibited for this particular image.
